Description
Silicon Lab's family of ultra-low-power digital isolators are CMOS devices
offering substantial data rate, propagation delay, power, size, reliability, and
external BOM advantages over legacy isolation technologies. The operating
parameters of these products remain stable across wide temperature ranges
and throughout device service life for ease of design and highly uniform
performance. All device versions have Schmitt trigger inputs for high noise
immunity and only require VDD bypass capacitors.
Data rates up to 150 Mbps are supported, and all devices achieve propagation
delays of less than 10 ns. Ordering options include a choice of isolation ratings
(2.5, 3.75 and 5 kV) and a selectable fail-safe operating mode to control the
default output state during power loss. All products >1 kVRMS are safety
certified by UL, CSA, VDE, and CQC, and products in wide-body packages
support reinforced insulation withstanding up to 5 kVRMS.

Notes:
1. The nominal output impedance of an isolator driver channel is approximately 50 , ±40%, which is a
combination of the value of the on-chip series termination resistor and channel resistance of the output driver
FET. When driving loads where transmission line effects will be a factor, output pins should be appropriately
terminated with controlled impedance PCB traces.
2. tPSK(P-P) is the magnitude of the difference in propagation delay times measured between different units
operating at the same supply voltages, load, and ambient temperature.
3. Start-up time is the time period from the application of power to valid data at the output.

Notes:
1. The nominal output impedance of an isolator driver channel is approximately 50 , ±40%, which is a
combination of the value of the on-chip series termination resistor and channel resistance of the output
driver FET. When driving loads where transmission line effects will be a factor, output pins should be
appropriately terminated with controlled impedance PCB traces.
2. tPSK(P-P) is the magnitude of the difference in propagation delay times measured between different units
operating at the same supply voltages, load, and ambient temperature.
3. Start-up time is the time period from the application of power to valid data at the output.

1. The values in this table correspond to the nominal creepage and clearance values as detailed in “7. Package Outline:
16-Pin Wide Body SOIC”, “9. Package Outline: 8-Pin Narrow Body SOIC”. VDE certifies the clearance and creepage
limits as 8.5 mm minimum for the WB SOIC-16 package and 4.7 mm minimum for the NB SOIC-8 package. UL does
not impose a clearance and creepage minimum for component level certifications. CSA certifies the clearance and
creepage limits as 3.9 mm minimum for the NB SOIC-8 and 7.6 mm minimum for the WB SOIC-16 package.
2. To determine resistance and capacitance, the Si86xx is converted into a 2-terminal device. Pins 1–8 (1–4, NB SOIC-8)
are shorted together to form the first terminal and pins 9–16 (5–8, NB SOIC-8) are shorted together to form the second
terminal. The parameters are then measured between these two terminals.

2. Functional Description
2.1. Theory of Operation
The operation of an Si861x/2x channel is analogous to that of an opto coupler, except an RF carrier is modulated
instead of light. This simple architecture provides a robust isolated data path and requires no special
considerations or initialization at start-up. A simplified block diagram for a single Si861x/2x channel is shown in
Figure 5.

B
Figure 5. Simplified Channel Diagram
A channel consists of an RF Transmitter and RF Receiver separated by a semiconductor-based isolation barrier.
Referring to the Transmitter, input A modulates the carrier provided by an RF oscillator using on/off keying. The
Receiver contains a demodulator that decodes the input state according to its RF energy content and applies the
result to output B via the output driver. This RF on/off keying scheme is superior to pulse code schemes as it
provides best-in-class noise immunity, low power consumption, and better immunity to magnetic fields. See
Figure 6 for more details.

2.2. Eye Diagram
Figure 7 illustrates an eye-diagram taken on an Si8610. For the data source, the test used an Anritsu (MP1763C)
Pulse Pattern Generator set to 1000 ns/div. The output of the generator's clock and data from an Si8610 were
captured on an oscilloscope. The results illustrate that data integrity was maintained even at the high data rate of
150 Mbps. The results also show that 2 ns pulse width distortion and 350 ps peak jitter were exhibited.

3. Device Operation
Device behavior during start-up, normal operation, and shutdown is shown in Figure 8, where UVLO+ and UVLO–
are the positive-going and negative-going thresholds respectively. Refer to Table 12 to determine outputs when
power supply (VDD) is not present.

Comments
Normal operation.
Notes:
1. VDDI and VDDO are the input and output power supplies. VI and VO are the respective input and output terminals.
2. X = not applicable; H = Logic High; L = Logic Low; Hi-Z = High Impedance.
3. “Powered” state (P) is defined as 2.5 V < VDD < 5.5 V.
4. “Unpowered” state (UP) is defined as VDD = 0 V.
5. Note that an I/O can power the die for a given side through an internal diode if its source has adequate current.
6. See "6. Ordering Guide" on page 31 for details. This is the selectable fail-safe operating mode (ordering option). Some
devices have default output state = H, and some have default output state = L, depending on the ordering part number
(OPN). For default high devices, the data channels have pull-ups on inputs/outputs. For default low devices, the data
channels have pull-downs on inputs/outputs.

3.1. Device Startup
Outputs are held low during powerup until VDD is above the UVLO threshold for time period tSTART. Following
this, the outputs follow the states of inputs.
3.2. Undervoltage Lockout
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) is provided to prevent erroneous operation during device startup and shutdown or
when VDD is below its specified operating circuits range. Both Side A and Side B each have their own
undervoltage lockout monitors. Each side can enter or exit UVLO independently. For example, Side A
unconditionally enters UVLO when VDD1 falls below VDD1(UVLO–) and exits UVLO when VDD1 rises above
VDD1(UVLO+). Side B operates the same as Side A with respect to its VDD2 supply.

3.3. Layout Recommendations
To ensure safety in the end user application, high voltage circuits (i.e., circuits with >30 VAC) must be physically
separated from the safety extra-low voltage circuits (SELV is a circuit with <30 VAC) by a certain distance
(creepage/clearance). If a component, such as a digital isolator, straddles this isolation barrier, it must meet those
creepage/clearance requirements and also provide a sufficiently large high-voltage breakdown protection rating
(commonly referred to as working voltage protection). Table 5 on page 17 and Table 6 on page 18 detail the
working voltage and creepage/clearance capabilities of the Si86xx. These tables also detail the component
standards (UL1577, IEC60747, CSA 5A), which are readily accepted by certification bodies to provide proof for
end-system specifications requirements. Refer to the end-system specification (61010-1, 60950-1, 60601-1, etc.)
requirements before starting any design that uses a digital isolator.
3.3.1. Supply Bypass
The Si861x/2x family requires a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor between VDD1 and GND1 and VDD2 and GND2. The
capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the package. To enhance the robustness of a design, the user
may also include resistors (50–300  ) in series with the inputs and outputs if the system is excessively noisy.
3.3.2. Output Pin Termination
The nominal output impedance of an isolator driver channel is approximately 50 , ±40%, which is a combination
of the value of the on-chip series termination resistor and channel resistance of the output driver FET. When driving
loads where transmission line effects will be a factor, output pins should be appropriately terminated with controlled
impedance PCB traces.
3.4. Fail-Safe Operating Mode
Si86xx devices feature a selectable (by ordering option) mode whereby the default output state (when the input
supply is unpowered) can either be a logic high or logic low when the output supply is powered. See Table 12 on
page 24 and "6. Ordering Guide" on page 31 for more information.
